n my dream, children sing A song of love for every boy and girl The sky is blue and fields are green And laughter is the language of the world Then I wake and all I see Is a world full of people in need
[Chorus:] Tell me why(why) does it have to be like this? Tell me why (why), is there something I have missed? Tell me why (why) cause I don't understand When so many need somebody We don't give a helping hand Tell me why?
Everyday I ask myself What will I have to do to be a man? Do I have to stand and fight To prove to everybody who I am? Is that what my life is for To waste in a world full of war?
[Chorus]
(children) Tell me why? (Declan) Tell me why? (children) Tell me why? (Declan) Tell me why? (together) Just tell me why, why, why?
